He floats like a butterfly, he stings like a bee

Me (whispered into his ear): Baby? You awake?

Him: …

Me: Honey? (Kiss, kiss…kisskisskiss on his stubbly cheek) Are you sleeping? I need to ask you a quick question. Very important.

Him: Mmmmm…I was sorta sleepin’…what’s up?

Me (Kiss, kiss): Did you remember to bring home that black sweater for me from work?

Him: Yup.

Me: REALLY?!

Him: Already washed. Laying flat to dry.

Me (kiss, kiss, kiss!): Wow, you’re the greatest!

Sam: Yeah, well, the greatest is trying to sleep.

Me: Hey, I’m having a moment here. I’m feeling nice. You oughta take the niceness where you can get it. It is fleeting, after all.

Sam: …

Me: Anyway, thanks for taking such great care of me. There. (Kiss, kiss.) I’m done. Go back to sleep.

Sam: Sure, baby. And thanks for taking such moderately good care of me.
